A severe‑weather forecast warns that the coming winter could bring very cold temperatures across the northern United States, Canada, and northern Europe in late 2023 and early 2024.
Cold Winter Forecast for North America and Europe
Severe Weather Europe released an analog forecast indicating that the winter spanning the end of this year and the start of next may be very cold in parts of the United States, Canada, and partially in Europe. In northern Europe, a high‑pressure area is noted, which meteorologists say typically brings cooler air from the east. Additionally, worsening conditions may be signaled by a weakening polar vortex, the extensive October snow cover in Siberia, and easterly winds in the stratosphere.
